Just yell “fire”

The story [“Just yell fire,” August 2012]
really touched my heart. With so many
abductions, etc., it was very emotional and
extremely educational. Kudos to this young
lady [Dallas Jessup] for this important information. I work in an elementary school and
hope all have access to this program.

Bonnie JacksonDetroit, MichiganEducation begins at home

I appreciated the insight of Sir Ken
Robinson [“Teach your children well,” August
2012]. Robinson emphasized the need for a
personalized approach to create creative
thinkers and passionate leaders.

This is one of the primary reasons we
chose to home-school. We are able to cater to
each child’s strengths, weaknesses and learning styles.

Jodi CoetzeeKailua-Kona, HawaiiCharged up on savings

I gulped twice—$2,740 plus tax for a new
hybrid battery for our 2001 Toyota Prius. I
went home from the dealer to think about it.
That night, I came across a Costco Connection
article about [a program] offering members a
15 percent discount on parts and service at
select dealerships [Costco Services Update,
July 2012]. I went to the Costco website,
located a dealer and saved almost $430 on
that battery. Thanks, Costco!
